>As reported by Wired, the mandate is designed to update internet copyright law but contains two controversial clauses. Ultimately, it could force prominent online platforms to censor their users' content before it's posted—which could impact everyone from meme creators to open source software designers and livestreamers.
>As told by The Verge, the former is a "link tax" which could force the likes of Google and Facebook to buy licenses from media companies before linking to their content. The latter, on the other hand, is an "upload filter" which would require everything uploaded online in the EU to be checked for copyright infringement prior to posting.
none of this applies to open source software as open source licences grant redistribution (etc) rights so long as the licence is upheld, this is nothing but fake news which detracts from the bigger issue

>having any hopes on the EU in the first place
The EU was always the first when it came to censorship or copyright-related stuff. Look at all the torrent sites being blocked and servers getting taken down.
